The second is Clem. Apostol. Constit. 5. Answ. 1. The words speak only of honouring the Martyrs, which is our unquestioned duty; but not of Praying to them. 2. Its an Apocryphal forgery, and neither the Apostles nor Clements Work which he citeth (but any thing will serve these men:) Let him believe Bellarmine de scriptor.

His intent is to stop the mouths of Heathens that called the Christians impious for renouncing their Gods: To whom he replieth, that we yet honour the true God, and his Angels, &c.—
